Fantasy Tip: Smith recorded 3,502 yards and 20 total touchdowns in 2016 and probably will post similar numbers this season. He probably should be considered a low-end No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.

Fantasy Tip: Kelce underwent a microfracture surgery on his knee as a rookie in 2013 and occasionally deals with some swelling, so there is no cause for alarm here. The fourth-year pro is perhaps the safest choice at tight end in fantasy, but his upside will continue to be limited as long as the Chiefs continue to not make him a priority in the red zone. Still, he is a solid choice in the fourth round of most fantasy drafts.

Kansas City Chiefs LB Reshard Cliett (undisclosed) negotiated an injury settlement with the club in order to become a free agent Saturday, Aug. 12, after being removed from the Chiefs' injured reserve list.

Fantasy Tip: Interestingly, Paylor advises not to hesitate taking Hill in fantasy but warns to never reach for anyone in an Andy Reid offense because it's too equal-opportunity in the red zone. It's good advice. If you are drafting Hill, you should do so for his ability to make splash plays and hope for the best in the touchdown department. He's a low-end, high-upside WR2 who figures to be an inconsistent option in the DeSean Jackson mold if defenses make it more of a priority to keep the ball out of his hands.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie QB Patrick Mahomes has been "impressive" in camp, "making at least one eye-opening throw per practice and has been fun to watch," according to the Kansas City Star's Terez A. Paylor, who added "everyone in the organization, from the highest level on down, is happy with his progress."

Fantasy Tip: Santos likely will miss the first preseason and could miss more practices but should be ready for the regular season. He has been a solid kicker over the last few years and will be a fine fantasy option.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt is seeing increased work with the first-team as time goes on and could potentially work himself into the starting running back this preseason, according to ArrowheadPride.com's Pete Sweeney.

Fantasy Tip: This should not come as a major shock, as Hunt has been consistently been praised by the coaching staff for his ability to process the playbook and his general NFL readiness. Spencer Ware is a likely best candidate at his early fourth-round ADP, while Hunt is an extreme value at his mid eighth-round ADP. This has all the makings of a split backfield early on, and it is a battle the rookie could easily win a few weeks into the season.
